Default Moth Ball Fumes/Smell?

so...motor blew up in 2011. I was kinda happy to park it, as it just never worked to potential and something always broke - I went and got a CTSVagon 6MT - and parked it at my cabin for 5yrs. I tried everything to keep the mice out, finally resorting to moth *****. They worked, but now that Im putting new motor and fixing gremlins, I cant get the noxious fumes and smell out!
Any ideas or thoughts? We'll be taking the carpet and seats out to shampoo (or replace)...prob need to do headliner too! - but always interested in suggestions.

thanks guys...and ya...I know...it wasnt too smart!

Fresh air and sunlight. Had the same issue with tons of stuff from my grandparents house, Nothing we tried worked better than leaving stuff out in the driveway for a few sunny days. Everything came in at night and went back out in the morning.
